Hi everyone! Many of you will know from following my blog that I have recently discovered Torico, the illustrator of Birdie Brown and There She Goes stamps. Well, today is her birthday and a gang of some of her biggest fans thought it would be fun to do a blog hop showcasing the birthday cards we have made with her gorgeous designs!

And not only that, we are giving away some candy for one lucky random person who leaves comments on each gang member's Torico birthday post! Before we get onto the candy, first here is my card for Torico!

So the prediction was right and we have got a covering of snow. It was snowing most of the afternoon yesterday......very fine like icing sugar powder and then carried on up until about midnight getting quite heavy at times. Looks like it won't be hanging around though as I don't think we have any more forecast. I guess some will be happy that we have it and others not so happy!

I did a bit of work and then some crafting yesterday and then more crafting :) Hope you are all keeping snuggly and warm if you have the same weather as us.

I made another card using an image by Torico at Birdie Brown - Friends Puppy & Chick

The image is coloured with Copics and Promarkers and highlighted with Sakura glitter pens.The umbrella is glazed with Glossy accents.Spotty paper - Pink PetticoatFriends was stamped using American Craft letter stamps.Embossing folder Twine - The Pretty Little Ribbon Shop

About Me

Hello its Sally here glad you have popped over to my blog. This is where I share my creations with you mostly made from paper.
I have been card making now for about 8 years and absolutely love it. I find crafting is a great escape and very relaxing. I tend to spend my spare time which isnt always that much doing some sort of crafting. I can sit for hours colouring images especially with Polychromo or Prisma pencils.
My most recent craft is crochet which I am learning slowly.
It would be great if you leave me a comment so I know you have been. I hope you find some inspiration here at my blog.
